Hi there, I have this performance task on Math and I'm struggling with this Venn diagram problem.

50 Grade 6 students were surveyed on their favorite types of kid-friendly content on Youtube. 17 liked Gaming Videos only, 6 liked Gaming Videos and How-To videos, 2 liked How-To and Comedy videos, 6 liked Gaming and Comedy, 5 liked Comedy videos only, 1 liked How-To videos only, 8 liked all three, and 4 chose none of the three.

I have done my own version of the diagram, which is shown here:

I don't know if I'm right or not though so I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to MHB, TheDoctor! (Wave)

Your diagram looks correct to me. (Yes)

Thanks so much! Though, when I add all the numbers inside the diagram, 49 is the sum, but it's supposed to be 50. 50-49=1, will I add the 1 to the 4 who didn't like any of the three?

I would say the error was made by whomever constructed the problem, not you. :D

Haha, it does get quite confusing so that makes sense. Thanks again!
